Gut Friendly Apricot & Coconut Crumble

Warm, bubbling fruit filling beneath a golden, coconut-flecked crumble — this dessert is the kind of thing that makes people hover near the oven. Fresh apricots are tossed with raw honey, grated ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, and a squeeze of lemon juice before baking, creating a naturally sweet and fragrant base that's genuinely good for your gut. The topping comes together with cassava flour, tapioca starch, and unsweetened shredded coconut, all bound with coconut oil and honey — no grains, no refined sugars, and nothing that's going to leave your digestive system unhappy. Ceylon cinnamon is a deliberate choice here, gentler and more nuanced than the cassia variety you'll find in most pantries, and it shows up in both the filling and the crumble for a warm, layered spice note throughout. Arrowroot starch thickens the filling as it cools, so you get that gorgeous jammy texture without any cornstarch or additives. The whole thing rests for ten minutes after it comes out of the oven, which is genuinely worth the wait — the filling sets up beautifully and scoops cleanly. It's the rare dessert that feels indulgent and wholesome at the same time.
